Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOM!

Jessica, having someone else earwormed does help. I was hoping the Pacific wouldn't make that impossible.

Tommy--I agree with you. I consider experimental probability a record, not a predictor. If we were talking coin flips I could potentially see the next coin flip as a corrector, but free throws aren't random. They just are.

But the TV show I was watching last night used free throws in an example much like the one I used above. So I'm wondering what's wrong in my interpretation/retelling of the whole thing. I'm assuming that (unlike the Smithsonian) that the Discovery Channel isn't wrong.

Second of all, San Francisco does not have a crippling inferiority complex about NY.

No, no, I'm afraid when Boston got over that you inherited the mantle of #1 red-headed step child (it's amazing what winning a few sports championships will do for a city).

So it appears yesterday did not kill me.

But for reasons completely unrelated to work (well, there may have been a doughnut) today may.

I was living in California, so her request that I act as POA was unworkable

I was told that my parents being in Jamaica should serve no obstacle to them being my PoA. I mean, whoever's going to be mine will live in at least a different country, never mind state.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well, I admit to having bullshitted her a bit. I *could* have been her PoA, sure, but I didn't want to be and I also honestly felt that that duty would be better handled by someone who lived closer to her. Like my uncle.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Babe, just occured to me: think of our conversation in the car this morning.

Now think of this: We each are the designated plug pullers for our mothers.

Happy Birthday, Tom!!

Speaking of SF and it's complexes, I just bought tix to come out there at the end of May. Woot!!!

Happy Scola Day! I hope you are feeling better, and that you don't have to jump through anyone else's hoops.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Happy Birthday Tom!

Ooh, that sounds good! I had a well-balanced dinner, in stages, that ended up being one thing too many:

1) small bowl of chili

2) small tortilla with cheese

3) brocolli with ranch dressing
4) thin mints

Woman, did you learn nothing from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life?!?
